What is a Copybotter?

Hey everyone, just wanted to address an on going issue in world with copybotters. What is a copybotter? ANYONE that copies our sculpts, textures or scripts and uses them in world, to display or sell is a copybotter. Our products are copyrighted with the United States Copyright office, so copying them is against the law, period. We have reported any that we find, but we can only do so much, You all have to protect yourselves by following a few very simple things:

**ALWAYS CHECK THE CREATOR of the Horse/K-9/Barnyard Bird/Ponie Pals. It should always without exception be:

JJ Cerna (Horses)

Ancient Biscuit (K-9s)

Mazelina Menna (Barnyard Birds).

PlayfulPonie Resident (Amaretto Ponie Pals).

**Use caution when buying/selling breedables to avatars that are only one day old or have no profile information such as picture etc.

**Check your market stalls often, they have been setting fake breedables for sale in other peoples sales pens.

**Report any copybotted item you find to the sim owner as well as file an abuse report with Linden Labs.

**ALSO BE AWARE of residents spoffing their name to look like an official name these residents are often very very young and have common mistakes ( like putting JJ Cerna as jjcena Resident or Ancient Biscuit as AncientBiscuiit Resident ) ONLY buy the product if it is created by one of the above 4 names.

Amaretto can not be there to help you at every breedable sale nor can we refund you if you buy a copybotted breedables. You have to protect yourself against these people in secondlife, if you do fall victim to one of these scams the best thing to do is file a abuse report them to linden labs.

Here is a helpful link to our Terms of Use Agreement, just in case anyone has any questions 🙂 http://wiki.amarettobreedables.com/index.php?title=Terms_of_Use

Spread the word so that all breeders will know how to protect themselves!!
